Definitions
- the present invention relates to a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same, and more particularly, to a negative electrode for a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which has reinforced insulation properties and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same.
- lithium secondary batteries having high energy density, high operating potential, long cycle life, and low self-discharging rate have been commercialized and widely used.
- a lithium secondary battery is a secondary battery which is generally composed of a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode active material, a separator, and an electrolyte, and is charged and discharged by intercalation-deintercalation of lithium ions. Since the lithium secondary battery is advantageous in that it has high energy density and large electromotive force, and may exhibit high capacity, the lithium secondary battery has been applied to various fields.
- a lithium secondary battery is manufactured by alternately overlapping a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, inserting the resultant product into a battery case formed as a can or pouch having a predetermined size and shape, and finally injecting an electrolyte.
- the separator is a polymer film disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode and having a porous structure, and plays the role of preventing the contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode as well as being provided as a passage for moving lithium ions actively.
- the ceramic layer is required to have a thickness of a certain degree or greater, because if the thickness is decreased to improve energy density, insulating properties and safety might be deteriorated.
- US6982132B1 relates to a rechargeable thin film battery and a method for making the same.
- EP1659650A1 relates to a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
- JP2011146365A relates to an electrochemical device having a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a non-aqueous electrolyte, and separator.
- An aspect of the present invention provides a negative electrode for a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which has reinforced insulating properties.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which comprises the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery and has reinforced insulating properties.
- a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery which comprises a negative electrode active material layer; and a ceramic separating layer formed on the negative electrode active material layer, wherein the negative electrode active material layer has an arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of 0.01 ⁇ m to 0.3 ⁇ m, and the ceramic separating layer has a thickness of 1 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m.
- Ra arithmetic average surface roughness
- a lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode, and a positive electrode, wherein a positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode is disposed to make contact with a ceramic separating layer of the negative electrode.
- the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention comprises a negative electrode active material layer of which surface roughness is controlled to a certain degree or less, and the insulating properties of a ceramic separating layer which is formed on the negative electrode active material layer are improved and improved safety may be achieved. Accordingly, a lithium secondary battery manufactured by contacting the ceramic separating layer with the positive electrode may also show excellent safety.
- the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention comprises a negative electrode active material layer; and a ceramic separating layer formed on the negative electrode active material layer, wherein the negative electrode active material layer has an arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of 0.01 ⁇ m to 0.3 ⁇ m, and the ceramic separating layer has a thickness of 1 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m.
- Ra arithmetic average surface roughness
- the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer may be 0.01 ⁇ m to 0.3 ⁇ m, particularly, 0.05 ⁇ m to 0.2 pm, more particularly, 0.1 ⁇ m to 0.2 ⁇ m. If the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer satisfies the above range, a ceramic separating layer may be uniformly formed on the negative electrode active material layer and the ceramic separating layer may stably keep insulation properties during using a battery, and thus, a battery comprising the same may show excellent safety.
- the ceramic separating layer which may play the function as a separator of a lithium secondary battery, may keep appropriate mechanical strength even though the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is small, and the function as a separator may be stably performed. Accordingly, the thickness of the ceramic separating layer may become smaller than the thickness of a separator composed of a common polyolefin-based resin, etc., which may be from 1 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m.
- a ceramic separating layer may be uniformly formed on the negative electrode active material layer and the ceramic separating layer may stably keep insulating properties during using a battery. Accordingly, a battery comprising a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention may show excellent safety.
- the negative electrode active material layer included in the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention may comprise a negative electrode active material having an average particle diameter (D 50 ) of 7 ⁇ m to 30 pm, particularly, 10 ⁇ m to 25 pm, more particularly, an average particle diameter (D 50 ) of 10 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m.
- the negative electrode active material layer comprises a negative electrode active material with a smaller particle diameter than the above range, the discharge capacity of the negative electrode may decrease, and initial efficiency may decrease, and if the negative electrode active material with a larger particle size than the above range is included, it may be difficult that a negative electrode slurry may be appropriated coated to a uniform thickness, and it may be difficult that the negative electrode active material layer has appropriate porosity and the surface roughness has the above range of the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value.
- the negative electrode active material comprises a graphite-based active material.
- the graphite-based active material may be one or more selected from the group consisting of natural graphite, artificial graphite, kish graphite, pyrolytic carbon, mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers, meso-carbon microbeads, mesophase pitches, petroleum-based cokes, and coal-based cokes, particularly, block graphite which has a spherical secondary particle structure obtained by aggregating or combining a plurality of initial particles composed of graphite.
- the secondary particle structure is obtained by aggregating, combining or assembling the plurality of initial particles in nonparallel mode to each other.
- initial particles used in the description of the present invention means original particles in case where different kind of particles are formed from a certain kind of particles, and a plurality of initial particles may be aggregated, combined or assembled to form secondary particlesf.
- second particles used in the present invention means large particles which may be physically separated and formed by aggregating, combining or assembling individual initial particles.
- the initial particle of the block graphite may be artificial graphite obtained by firing one or more carbon raw materials selected from the group consisting of needle cokes, mosaic cokes and coaltar pitch and crystallizing, particularly, artificial graphite having isotropic crystal structure which is synthesized by using non-needle petroleum-based pitch cokes as a raw material.
- the edge part of the initial particles may have a bent layer structure into a polygonal shape. Accordingly, though solvent molecules are co-intercalated between graphite layers in a coordination state with lithium, since the graphite layer of the edge part has a bent structure into a polygonal shape, the intra-layer distance of graphite may be easily increased when compared with graphite with high crystallinity. Accordingly, effects due to steric hindrance may decrease and solvolysis may be suppressed. That is, since the graphite layer has a bent structure into a polygonal shape at the edge part, the decomposition reaction of a solvent such as an electrolyte in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be suppressed.
- the structure may be confirmed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
- the block graphite is applied to the negative electrode active material of a lithium secondary battery, irreversible capacity during activation is small, rapid discharge characteristics are excellent, and a lithium secondary battery having excellent cycle characteristics may be manufactured.
- the negative electrode active material layer may have an arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) in the above range without a separate coating layer.
- the negative electrode active material layer may have a pellet density of 1.7 g/cc or more, particularly, 1.8 g/cc to 2.2 g/cc, more particularly, 1.8 g/cc to 1.9 g/cc with the application of a pressure of 1,000 kg/m 2 .
- the pellet density represents the density of a pellet in case where a negative electrode slurry forming the negative electrode active material layer is put in a pellet zig, and a pressure of 1,000 kg/m 2 is applied to form a pellet shape.
- the negative electrode active material layer comprising the same may comprise a negative electrode active material with the average particle diameter (D 50 ) range and may satisfy the above arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value range.

Description
- The present invention relates to a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same, and more particularly, to a negative electrode for a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which has reinforced insulation properties and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same.
- Demand for secondary batteries as an energy source has been significantly increased as technology development and demand with respect to mobile devices have increased, and among these secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries having high energy density, high operating potential, long cycle life, and low self-discharging rate have been commercialized and widely used.
- A lithium secondary battery is a secondary battery which is generally composed of a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode active material, a separator, and an electrolyte, and is charged and discharged by intercalation-deintercalation of lithium ions. Since the lithium secondary battery is advantageous in that it has high energy density and large electromotive force, and may exhibit high capacity, the lithium secondary battery has been applied to various fields.
- In general, a lithium secondary battery is manufactured by alternately overlapping a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, inserting the resultant product into a battery case formed as a can or pouch having a predetermined size and shape, and finally injecting an electrolyte.
- When such a secondary battery is over-charged than common charge conditions, or a negative electrode plate and a positive electrode plate of an electrode assembly are short, a mixture electrolyte of a lithium salt and an organic solvent may be decomposed at the positive electrode plate, and a lithium metal may be precipitated at the negative electrode plate to deteriorate battery properties and induce internal short. The defects accompanied with the short of the secondary battery in a common lithium secondary battery are going to be solved using the characteristics of a separator. The separator is a polymer film disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode and having a porous structure, and plays the role of preventing the contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode as well as being provided as a passage for moving lithium ions actively.
- Recently, attempts for introducing a thin-film type separator are made to manufacture a lithium secondary battery having high energy density. Since the ionic conductivity of a non-aqueous electrolyte is very low when compared with that of an aqueous electrolyte, the reaction area of the electrode is required to increase while decreasing the distance between electrode plates to accomplish high power and high energy density in a battery. Accordingly, attempts for increasing electrolyte concentration around a separator to promote the movement of materials by decreasing the thickness of the separator have been conducted. However, with the decrease of the thickness of the separator, pinholes may be formed during manufacturing, or a separator may be broken to increase the possibility of inducing short, thereby generating limitations of safety deterioration. As a method for solving such limitations, a unified stack cell in which a ceramic layer is interposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode instead of a conventional polyolefin separator has been received attention.
- However, if a ceramic layer is used instead of the conventional polyolefin separator, defects relating to the generation of pinholes as in the conventional polyolefin separator may not arise, but the ceramic layer is required to have a thickness of a certain degree or greater, because if the thickness is decreased to improve energy density, insulating properties and safety might be deteriorated.
- Accordingly, in order to decrease the thickness of a ceramic layer which is used as a separator, there is a need to develop a novel method for solving the limitations relating to insulating properties and safety deterioration, which might be generated if the ceramic layer has a thickness of a certain degree or less.

- The arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer may be 0.01 µm to 0.3 µm, particularly, 0.05 µm to 0.2 pm, more particularly, 0.1 µm to 0.2 µm. If the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer satisfies the above range, a ceramic separating layer may be uniformly formed on the negative electrode active material layer and the ceramic separating layer may stably keep insulation properties during using a battery, and thus, a battery comprising the same may show excellent safety. In addition, if the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer satisfies the above range, the ceramic separating layer which may play the function as a separator of a lithium secondary battery, may keep appropriate mechanical strength even though the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is small, and the function as a separator may be stably performed. Accordingly, the thickness of the ceramic separating layer may become smaller than the thickness of a separator composed of a common polyolefin-based resin, etc., which may be from 1 µm to 30 µm.
- That is, since the surface roughness of the negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention is controlled to have a certain arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra), a ceramic separating layer may be uniformly formed on the negative electrode active material layer and the ceramic separating layer may stably keep insulating properties during using a battery. Accordingly, a battery comprising a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention may show excellent safety.
- The negative electrode active material layer included in the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention may comprise a negative electrode active material having an average particle diameter (D50) of 7 µm to 30 pm, particularly, 10 µm to 25 pm, more particularly, an average particle diameter (D50) of 10 µm to 20 µm.
- If the negative electrode active material layer comprises a negative electrode active material with a smaller particle diameter than the above range, the discharge capacity of the negative electrode may decrease, and initial efficiency may decrease, and if the negative electrode active material with a larger particle size than the above range is included, it may be difficult that a negative electrode slurry may be appropriated coated to a uniform thickness, and it may be difficult that the negative electrode active material layer has appropriate porosity and the surface roughness has the above range of the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value.
- In the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode active material comprises a graphite-based active material.
- The graphite-based active material may be one or more selected from the group consisting of natural graphite, artificial graphite, kish graphite, pyrolytic carbon, mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers, meso-carbon microbeads, mesophase pitches, petroleum-based cokes, and coal-based cokes, particularly, block graphite which has a spherical secondary particle structure obtained by aggregating or combining a plurality of initial particles composed of graphite. In this case, the secondary particle structure is obtained by aggregating, combining or assembling the plurality of initial particles in nonparallel mode to each other.
- The term "initial particles" used in the description of the present invention means original particles in case where different kind of particles are formed from a certain kind of particles, and a plurality of initial particles may be aggregated, combined or assembled to form secondary particlesf.
- The term "secondary particles" used in the present invention means large particles which may be physically separated and formed by aggregating, combining or assembling individual initial particles.
- The initial particle of the block graphite may be artificial graphite obtained by firing one or more carbon raw materials selected from the group consisting of needle cokes, mosaic cokes and coaltar pitch and crystallizing, particularly, artificial graphite having isotropic crystal structure which is synthesized by using non-needle petroleum-based pitch cokes as a raw material.
- The edge part of the initial particles may have a bent layer structure into a polygonal shape. Accordingly, though solvent molecules are co-intercalated between graphite layers in a coordination state with lithium, since the graphite layer of the edge part has a bent structure into a polygonal shape, the intra-layer distance of graphite may be easily increased when compared with graphite with high crystallinity. Accordingly, effects due to steric hindrance may decrease and solvolysis may be suppressed. That is, since the graphite layer has a bent structure into a polygonal shape at the edge part, the decomposition reaction of a solvent such as an electrolyte in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be suppressed. The structure may be confirmed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
- If the block graphite is applied to the negative electrode active material of a lithium secondary battery, irreversible capacity during activation is small, rapid discharge characteristics are excellent, and a lithium secondary battery having excellent cycle characteristics may be manufactured. Particularly, the negative electrode active material layer may have an arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) in the above range without a separate coating layer.
- The negative electrode active material layer may have a pellet density of 1.7 g/cc or more, particularly, 1.8 g/cc to 2.2 g/cc, more particularly, 1.8 g/cc to 1.9 g/cc with the application of a pressure of 1,000 kg/m2.
- The pellet density represents the density of a pellet in case where a negative electrode slurry forming the negative electrode active material layer is put in a pellet zig, and a pressure of 1,000 kg/m2 is applied to form a pellet shape.
- If the pellet density of the negative electrode active material layer satisfies the above range, the negative electrode active material layer comprising the same may comprise a negative electrode active material with the average particle diameter (D50) range and may satisfy the above arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value range.
- In addition, the negative electrode active material layer may have an orientation (I004/I110) of 50 or more, particularly, 50 to 70, more particularly, 50 to 65, in case where the density of a negative electrode slurry forming the negative electrode active material layer is 1.6 g/cc and measurement was conducted by XRD.
- The orientation (I004/I110) of the negative electrode active material layer is a peak intensity ratio (I004/I110) of (004) surface and (110) surface by an X-ray diffraction analysis in an electrode state. The peak intensity ratio may be obtained through X-ray diffraction analysis, and the X-ray diffraction analysis in an electrode state means that the negative electrode active material is manufactured into a negative electrode state and then, X-ray diffraction analysis is performed. The X-ray diffraction analysis may be measured using an X-ray diffraction analyzer, Bruker D4 Endeavor and using Cu-Kα-ray, and numerical values may be corrected through a Topas3 fitting program. Measurement may be performed using silicone with high purity as an internal standard specimen and computation may be performed by a method of the society for promotion of scientific research (measurement method determined by the seventeenth committee of Japan Society for promotion of scientific research).
- The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention selects and comprises a negative electrode active material which may serve a negative electrode active material layer having a certain pellet density and negative electrode orientation, as a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material layer may have the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value in the above range though not comprising a negative electrode active material having a specifically small average particle diameter or not forming a separate coating layer on the negative electrode active material layer to decrease surface roughness. The negative electrode active material may particularly be a graphite-based negative electrode active material.
- That is, the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention selects a specific negative electrode active material having an appropriate particle diameter range as a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode may have certain values of pellet density and negative electrode orientation and at the same time, the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) value of the surface may be in an appropriate range. Through this, appropriate discharge capacity and excellent initial efficiency may be shown, and insulating properties and safety of a ceramic separating layer may be improved.
- Meanwhile, in the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode active material layer may comprise a first negative electrode active material layer and a second negative electrode active material layer formed on the first negative electrode active material layer.
- In this case, the first negative electrode active material layer may comprise a negative electrode active material having an average particle diameter (D50) of 5 µm to 30 pm, particularly, 6 µm to 25 pm, more particularly, an average particle diameter (D50) of 7 µm to 20 µm. The second negative electrode active material layer may comprise a negative electrode active material having an average particle diameter (D50) of 0.03 µm to 7 pm, particularly, an average particle diameter (D50) of 0.03 µm to 5 µm.
- The negative electrode active material included in the first negative electrode active material layer may be a graphite-based active material as described above, and the negative electrode active material included in the second negative electrode active material layer may not be specifically limited only if a compound may perform reversible intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium. Particularly, the negative electrode active material included in the first negative electrode active material layer may be fragment graphitized graphite, and the negative electrode active material included in the second negative electrode active material layer may be block graphite.
- The fragment (powder) graphitized graphite may be obtained by aggregating, combining or assembling a plurality of initial particles which are composed of graphite, and may form a lump shape. The initial particles of the fragment graphite may be artificial graphite obtained by firing and crystallizing one or more carbon materials selected from the group consisting of needle cokes, mosaic cokes and coaltar pitch, and may particularly have an isotropic crystal structure synthesized using non-needle petroleum-based pitch cokes as a raw material and high crystallinity. The average particle diameter of the initial particles of the fragment graphitized graphite may be 2 µm to 10 µm.
- The ceramic separating layer formed on the negative electrode active material layer may prevent the short between a positive electrode and a negative electrode and pass an electrolyte, and further, may provide a passage for actively moving lithium ions included in a lithium secondary battery. Accordingly, the ceramic separating layer may play the role of a separator which is included in a common lithium secondary battery. Accordingly, the lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which does not comprise an extra separator.
- The ceramic separating layer may comprise pores having an average diameter (D50) of 1 nm to 50 µm if measured at the surface thereof, and the pores may particularly have an average diameter (D50) of 10 nm to 10 pm, more particularly an average diameter (D50) of 10 nm to 5 µm. If the average diameter (D50) of the pores is 1 µm or more, an electrolyte may easily pass through the ceramic separating layer. If the average diameter (D50) of the pores is 50 µm or less, insulating properties between a positive electrode and a negative electrode may be stably shown.

The average diameter or the average particle diameter is not specifically limited but may be measured using a laser diffraction method or a scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographic image. By the laser diffraction method, generally, the measurement of a particle diameter from a submicron region to several mm degrees may be possible, and results with high reproducibility and high resolution may be obtained.
- The ceramic separating layer may have a porosity of 5% to 60%, particularly, a porosity of 30% to 50%. If the ceramic separating layer has a porosity in the range, an electrolyte may easily pass the ceramic separating layer, and the ceramic separating layer may stably show appropriate mechanical strength and insulating properties between a positive electrode and a negative electrode.

The inorganic particle may be included in a powder shape and may have an average particle diameter (D50) of 10 nm to 10 pm, more particularly, an average particle diameter (D50) of 100 nm to 1 µm.
- If the average particle diameter of the inorganic particle is 10 nm or more, the inorganic particles in the ceramic separating layer show appropriate dispersibility so as not to agglomerate, thereby forming appropriate pores which may be a passage of an electrolyte. If the average particle diameter of the inorganic particles is 10 µm or less, the ceramic separating layer may be formed to have an appropriate thickness.
- The ceramic separating layer may be formed by a method of spraying or applying a material included in the ceramic separating layer.
- The ceramic separating layer may comprise a binder in addition to the inorganic particles, and in an embodiment of the present invention, the formation of the ceramic separating layer may be performed by a wet-type applying comprising applying an aqueous slurry or an organic slurry obtained by mixing the inorganic particles and the binder with a solvent, on the negative electrode active material layer.

- The ceramic separating layer may have a thickness of 1 µm to 30 pm, particularly, 3 µm to 20 µm, more particularly, a thickness of 5 µm to 10 µm. If the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is 1 µm or more, the ceramic separating layer may show appropriate strength, and if the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is 30 µm or less, the total thickness of a total electrode assembly comprising a negative electrode may decrease, and the thinning of a lithium secondary battery comprising the same may be achieved.
- A lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery which does not comprise an extra separator. Accordingly, there is provided in the present invention a lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a positive electrode, wherein the positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode is disposed to make contact with the ceramic separating layer of the negative electrode.

- The binder may be used to combine negative electrode active material particles to keep a molded body and any common binders used for preparing a slurry for a negative electrode active material may be used without specific limitation, for example, a non-aqueous binder such as polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropylene cellulose, diacetylene cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), polyethylene and polypropylene may be used, and any one or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and acrylic rubber, which are aqueous binders may be used.

Also, the current collector may have an uneven surface to improve the bonding strength of the negative electrode active material. The current collector may be used in various shapes, such as that of a film, a sheet, a foil, a net, a porous body, a foam body, a non-woven fabric body, and the like.

- Each of the negative electrode slurries prepared in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 was put in a bowl made of an aluminum foil, put in an oven at 110°C and completely dried. The dried slurry powder was ground finely using a mortar and a pestle, sieved using a 250-mesh sieve. 1 g of the powder was weighed and put in a pellet zig, and then, a pressure was applied so that the density of the pellet became 1.6 g/cc to manufacture a pellet. The pellet thus manufactured was filled in an exclusive holder of an XRD equipment and pressed using a slide glass to planarize the surface, and then, an XRD analysis was conducted.
- The orientation was obtained by measuring the (110) surface and (004) surface of the negative electrode active material included in the negative electrode, integrating the peak intensity of the (110) surface and the (004) surface, and calculating an area ratio ((110)/(004)). Particularly, XRD measurement conditions are as follows.
- target: Cu (Kα-ray) graphite monochromator
- slit: divergent slit = 1 degree, receiving slit = 0.1 mm, scattering slit = 1 degree
- measurement section and step angle/measurement time:
- (110) surface: 76.5 degrees < 20 < 78.5 degrees, 0.01 degrees/3 seconds
- (004) surface: 53.5 degrees < 20 < 56.0 degrees, 0.01 degrees/3 seconds, where 20 represents a diffraction angle.

- Particularly, in the surface of the negative electrode active material layer of the negative electrode manufactured in each of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, a field view of 1 mm x 1 mm was measured for 512 x 512 pixels using a confocal laser microscope (manufacturer, product name), and from the average line of each dot, an absolute value was calculated from arithmetic mean.
[Table 2] Pellet density (@ 1,000 kg/m2) Orientation (I004/I110) Arithmetic average roughness (Ra, µm) Example 1 1.88 g/cc 58 0.2 Example 2 1.88 58 0.2 Example 3 1.88 58 0.2 Example 4 1.95 67 0.03 Example 5 1.93 64 0.09 Example 6 1.91 60 0.16 Example 7 1.80 53 0.25 Example 8 1.70 25 0.2 Comparative Example 1 1.67 16 1.5 Comparative Example 2 1.67 16 1.5 Comparative Example 3 1.67 16 1.5 Comparative Example 4 1.55 8 2.8 - A positive electrode mixture slurry was prepared by adding 94 wt% of Li (Li1.2Co0.1Ni0.1Mn0.6)O2 as a positive electrode active material, 3 wt% of carbon black as a conductive agent, and 3 wt% of PVdF as a binding agent to an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. An aluminum (Al) thin film which was a positive electrode current collector with a thickness of about 20 um, was coated with the positive electrode mixture slurry and dried to manufacture a positive electrode. Then, the positive electrode was roll pressed.
- On the ceramic separating layer of the negative electrode manufactured in Example 1, the positive electrode was oppositely disposed to manufacture an electrode assembly, and this was put in a pouch type batter case. Then, an electrolyte obtained by dissolving 1 M LiPF6 in a mixture solvent of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) in a volume ratio of 30:70 was injected to manufacture a unified stack cell lithium secondary battery.
- Lithium secondary batteries were manufactured by the same method described in Example 1-1 except for using the negative electrodes manufactured in Examples 2 to 8, respectively, instead of the negative electrode manufactured in Example 1.
- Lithium secondary batteries were manufactured by the same method described in Example 1-1 except for using the negative electrodes manufactured in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, respectively, instead of the negative electrode manufactured in Example 1.
- The cross-sections of the electrode assemblies of the negative electrode of Example 1 and the lithium secondary battery of Example 1-1 were taken using SEM and shown in
FIG. 2 (Example 1) andFIG. 3 (Example 1-1), respectively. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , it was found that a ceramic separating layer was uniformly formed on the negative electrode active material layer of the negative electrode. In addition, referring toFIG. 3 , a negative electrode and a positive electrode were oppositely disposed with the ceramic separating layer boundary, and it was found that the ceramic separating layer was stably positioned between the negative electrode and the positive electrode. - Between the negative electrode and a pouch, and the positive electrode and the pouch of each of the lithium secondary batteries manufactured in Examples 1-1 to 8-1 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 4-1, a voltage of 50 V was applied, and resistance was measured after 1 second to check the flow of leakage current, and the resistance degree thereto was evaluated to evaluate the insulation between the positive/negative electrode and the pouch.
- The batteries thus manufactured were charged at constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) conditions at 45°C with 1 C to 4.2 V/38 mA, and, thereafter, were discharged at constant current (CC) conditions with 1C to 2.5 V, and discharge capacity was measured. This cycle was repeated by 1 to 100 cycles.
- Energy density was represented by Wh/L, which represents battery capacity per 1 L volume in case where the negative electrode active material was coated, and the discharge capacity after 100 cycles was divided by the discharge capacity after 1 cycle to represent life characteristics. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[Table 3] Positive/negative electrode insulating resistance (MΩ) Life characteristics (@ 100 cycles, %) Energy density (Wh/L) Example 1-1 0.89 92 600 Example 2-1 1.02 90 520 Example 3-1 1.18 85 440 Example 4-1 0.88 70 630 Example 5-1 0.89 73 620 Example 6-1 0.90 75 610 Example 7-1 0.75 80 580 Example 8-1 0.88 95 540 Comparative Example 1-1 0.08 28 600 Comparative Example 2-1 0.50 40 560 Comparative Example 3-1 0.89 45 520 Comparative Example 4-1 0.02 15 470 - Referring to Table 3, it was found that the lithium secondary batteries of Examples 1-1 to 8-1 showed excellent insulating resistance and excellent life characteristics. On the contrary, the lithium secondary batteries of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 4-1 showed inferior life characteristics and the insulating resistance thereof was also bad excluding Comparative Example 3-1 in which a ceramic separating layer with a thickness of 30 µm was formed. The lithium secondary batteries of Examples 1-1 to 3-1 comprise negative electrodes on which ceramic separating layers with thicknesses of 10 pm, 20 µm and 30 µm were formed, respectively, on the negative electrode active material layer with arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of 0.2 µm. With the increase of the thickness of the ceramic separating layer, the insulating resistance was increased but life characteristics and energy density were decreased. Accordingly, in order to improve the life characteristics and the energy density of the lithium secondary battery, the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is required to decrease as thin as possible but in a common negative electrode, in order to keep insulating properties, the thickness of the ceramic separating layer is required to have a thickness of a certain degree or more. Particularly, from the results of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 4-1, lithium secondary batteries (Comparative Examples 1-1 to 3-1) using common artificial graphite, that is, artificial graphite with an average particle diameter (D50) of 15 µm as a negative electrode active material, and a lithium secondary battery (Comparative Example 4-1) using artificial graphite with an average particle diameter (D50) of 4 µm as a negative electrode active material had high arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode of 1.5 µm and 2.8 µm. Accordingly, it was found that if the thickness of the ceramic separating layer was 10 µm and 20 µm, insulating resistance was low, and if the thickness reached 30 pm, the insulating resistance showed a high value.
- Meanwhile, all lithium secondary batteries of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 4-1 showed inferior life characteristics, and particularly, though the lithium secondary battery of Comparative Example 3-1 had positive/negative electrode insulating resistance of 0.89 MΩ, 100 cycle life characteristics was only 45%. Accordingly, it was secured that if the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode was high, it was found difficult that the ceramic separating layer kept appropriate insulating properties.
- Through this, the lithium secondary batteries of Examples 1-1 to 8-1 were found to achieve energy density increase in accordance with the thinning of the ceramic separating layer, and stable maintenance of the insulating properties of the ceramic separating layer at the same time.
